Bonehead of the Week: Watkins Glen

Robby Gordon for constantly running over and into Logano in the Nationwide race which caused Logano to get a cut tire, crash into the wall, and knock the fuel line off the car.
 
ok then that was'nt stremme's fault, kasey got into him thus puttin stremme into tire barrier.

That was a racin' deal.

Kahne, unlike Stremme, doesn't wreck someone EVERY SINGLE WEEK.

Oh, OK Andy. I thought the thread title was Bonehead of the Week. Now that you've pointed out to me, in caps, that it's every single week, I may have to rethink my answer.
 
I just watched the entire race off the DVR.

Stremme, no doubt.
 
Stremme wins this week, hands down.

Taking out Carpentier, then driving through the grass and wrecking Harvick's day.


The only other competition this week is Robby, but he's more of a butthole. Bonehead is Stremme.
 
My bonehead was def Kasey Kahne. But Stremme is right up there as a repeated bonehead.
 
Stremme fhitting Jeff and taking out Kevin and being a pinball on the track. or Kasey for punting Sam, who took out Jeff G, who was then hit by Jeff B. I guess we could say they're ALL racing deals, but with Stremme, he's in over his head and shouldn't be in a cup car and maybe not even a Nationwide car.
 
i nominate ISC for the tire walls. hornish and leffler wouldnt be so sore if the tire barriers didnt rebound them right into traffic in an airborne spiral.
 
Well, I agree that Kahne didn't do it intentionally. I'd vote Robby Gordon in the Nationwide race. This has been a pattern of his all along. He has ALWAYS been a accident looking for somewhere to happen, been that way since his first race in the Cup Series!

Hornish says he's feeling incredibly well today. Not so much for Jeff Gordon and Jeff Burton. I didn't catch it at the time, but on watchng the Youtube of the wreck, when Burton got out of his car, he went over the rail, just about crawled up the hill a little bit and then flopped onto the ground. JG is getting so much scrutiny because of his continuing back problem, but I'm really wondering how JB is feeling today. From his comments after getting out of the care center, you could tell he felt that really hard and said he was too old to take many more hits like that and hoped he didn't see one for a long, long time.

I have a feeling that area will be fixed by next year. They finally fixed up Vegas after Gordon's hard crash with no softer barrier. I see the same thing happening at The Glen. It's getting too much attention for them to ignore it.

I agree WNY something has to be done and I think it will before next year.
 
I'm with ISC and those pitch back tire barriers, and the metal barriers a close second. They are lucky there were no serious injuries.
 
It should be mandated by NASCAR that all tracks wanting a date in 2010 have safer barriers in obviously critical areas.

Not just that, I'd say SAFER barriers all the way around every track. Especially road courses. Jeff Gordon's crash at Vegas last year showed that you can never predict how a car will react. If you start saying that "this area, or that area is safe and doesn't need a SAFER barrier" then there will be a crash that proves otherwise.

I expect it would be quite expensive to put a safer barrier on both sides of a 2.45 mile road course. The track may not be able to afford it and opt out of a race date. Not saying, of course, that driver safety does not warrant the cost.
